02Overview
A first look
Marsa Alam is where the desert runs down to the Red Sea, a long way in feel from Egypt's busy cities. Pickalbatros Vita Resort Portofino is rated five stars and has its address in the Red Sea Governorate. You are buying a room, not an itinerary, so time can go on the resort or on trips into the surrounding area.
Egypt Discovery makes the booking on request, and other travel can be added separately. Room category, meal plan, facilities and transfers change with the dates, so ask us what is on offer before you commit.

Tailor it
Make it yours
Ask us to check room types, meal plans and facilities for your dates. Other travel services can be arranged separately, though transfers and room upgrades are not confirmed here.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Slot this Marsa Alam hotel into a wider holiday in Egypt as the Red Sea leg, alongside time in Cairo or Luxor. Check room type, meal plan and transfers for your dates before booking.
Accessibility
Who can join this
Check with the hotel before booking on step-free routes, lift access, adapted room features and bathroom layout. Access can differ between rooms, restaurants, pool areas and outdoor paths. Sand and uneven ground around Marsa Alam may make moving about harder, particularly near the beach. Pool access may involve steps, and an ordinary room or bathroom may not take a wheelchair or walking aid. Tell us what help or room features you need and we will ask the property before you confirm. Do not assume every facility is accessible.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
Ask us to check the hotel's present age rules, child rates and any limits on which rooms children may use. Charges for children can depend on age, how many share a room and the meal plan. Pushchairs may help in the lobby and on paved paths, but sand, steps and rough outdoor ground can make them hard to use. Ask the hotel whether a cot or high chair is available for your dates.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.
Location
The setting
The address puts Pickalbatros Vita Resort Portofino in Marsa Alam, within Egypt's Red Sea Governorate. It does not name a smaller district or any landmark close by, so we will not guess at distances. Marsa Alam is a Red Sea coastal destination, which makes the wider region the useful guide when planning trips. Ask us about transport and journey times for your dates, including getting between the resort, Marsa Alam town and anywhere else you want to see.

Marsa Alam is warm on the Red Sea all year, but the best season depends on how much heat you like and what you plan to do. Winter is generally milder than summer, when the heat can limit time outdoors. Look at the forecast for your dates and ask about seasonal services.10Does Pickalbatros Vita Resort Portofino work as a base for exploring Marsa Alam?
It is a hotel stay in Marsa Alam, not a guided tour. How handy it is depends on where you want to go and how you will travel. We can look into transport separately, and you should check the distance to any sight on your list.

Laguna Beach Marsa Resort is a three-star hotel on the Red Sea coast of Egypt. Its address puts it 17 km south of Marsa Alam, so this is a stay away from the town rather than in it. Getting into Marsa Alam or out to other places will mean arranging a lift or a car. Egypt Discovery books hotels on request, and we will check the room type, the board basis and any extras you want for your dates, because each one changes what you pay for.

Marsa AlamAbu Dabbab Lodge on the Marsa Alam coast
Abu Dabbab Lodge is a three-star hotel on Abu Dabbab Bay, about 30 kilometres north of Marsa Alam in Egypt’s Red Sea Governorate. The bay has a sandy shore and beds of seagrass, which sometimes draw green sea turtles and dugongs, although nobody can promise a sighting. You are outside the town here, so work out how you will get to and from Marsa Alam before you book. This is a stay built around the coast, not around shops and cafés. Ask us to confirm the current rooms, meals and facilities first.
